    "I like a clean n nice place to stay with my kids. This place look very nice n beautiful good for people with children."
  • Trulia User
    "To get to bus station is a long , over populated area and the majority of people walk but a lot of cars in a very over populated and mixture of all kinds of people. Some very nice, and some very rude and feel they own the streets! I really hate Princeton and donโ€™t recommend it. To get to train station is now a drive and to The Dinky is a longer walk than bus stop. And everything costs money, they built decks to make money and they also make you get permits to park. I was blessed enough to have a driveway where I was, but all in all: I rate it a good=25 & bad=75%-NOT VERY GOOD! Must rate Police & EMT IS A GOOD-100% -very fair and also courts are fair majority of time"

    "15 minutes straight easy commute... in rush hour at night, can take over an hour trying to get thru Princeton "
  • Barbara P.
    "This is a great location if you like to walk or ride a bike. Princeton train station, bus to NYC, walk to Princeton High School, middle school, or Littlebrook elementary. Easy walk to supermarket, European bistro, downtown for ice cream, movies, restuarants. Kind, educated neighbors work at Princeton University or local corporations. Most have advanced degrees from Ivy League. Lots of trees and parks in the neighborhood. Bike ride to the D&R Canal path. Walk to Princeton University or Westminster Choir College. Nice quality of life."
